Trunks are a type of men's
swimwear style. They resemble
shorts and cover from the waist to the mid-upper leg. Trunks are normally shorter than
boardshorts, which extend to the knees. Trunks are the most popular type of male swimsuit in
North America. They vary in style and design, though most are made of
nylon with a mesh lining for quick drying.
A
trunk is also a type of men's underwear similar to
boxer briefs. Like
boxer briefs, trunks cover the mid-section of the body (hence the name "trunk"). They are usually form-fitting like
briefs, but some styles are loose fitting like
boxer shorts. Trunk briefs extend over the legs like boxer shorts. Trunk briefs have a shorter inseam than regular
boxer briefs, covering only the upper thighs and resting below the true waist.
